Garg Breeding Setup Q's

[Shadraak]

picked up a few more gargs at NARBC... a semi redstripe male for my female when she's big enough and a red stripe retic for my big retic male, here's his cage i added in a long stick for him i also got at narbc from the tx herp society very cheap and loving it... i know i need more foliage and maybe a few hiding places but testing out how it looks for a breeding setup. as she's big enough to breed and he's like 48g lol.

this is the eventual pair
Male:

Female:

I guess you'd need a lay box for her at the bottom of the cage.

What size cage is that? Gargs are seriously aggressive, males and females will fight, heck even 2 females fight, gargs just really dont like company a whole lot. When breeding you need to take that into consideration and realize you need a fairly large cage even if you do not plan to keep them housed together at all times. Considering there is a pop lid at the bottom of the tank, it looks fairly small even for a single adult garg. You will want to go with something that is close to around 30 gallons for the two of them, most breeders who keep them together year round tend to use the exoterras that are 18 x 18 x 24 or the 24 x 24 x 24, and still even then you can still have fighting. You will want several branches in there, even things like foam insulation tubes work as cross runs for even more use of the height.

Well she's not breedable yet. Only 35g. Haven't measured the cage yet. Got them off a friend. But I think they're those repribreeze things.

 

[Shadraak]

Measured it they're 16x16x20.

that is def not big enough for a pair,you are going to need something more like the 18 x 18 x 24 or larger for a pair to give them ample room to get away from one another otherwise you may end up with some fighting going on
